About this episode
Nothing’s off limits with The Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino as you’ll hear in this episode (and read in his new book, Reality Check: Making The Best Of The Situation ). Mike talks about dealing drugs in high school, his battle with addiction, the events that led him to spend time in prison, and how he managed to land on an MTV reality show that became a pop culture phenomenon thanks to its now-iconic cast and legendary catch phrases (GTL = gym, tan, laundry)! ! He recounts his audition for The Jersey Shore , meeting his castmates, and dealing with the overnight superstar fame (and fortune) that accompanied it. He reveals his many rock-bottom moments, and the one that finally made him get sober and clean up his act for good. He also discusses his relationships, then and now, with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, DJ Pauly D, Vinny Guadagnino, and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and some of the big differences in filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation . And listen to the end because the very last story is absolutely bonkers!
